Two elderly German men ‘broke out’ of their nursing home to go to a heavy metal music festival nearby.
The pair were noticed missing by staff at the home on Friday night and police were contacted.
Following a frantic search the men were found at 3am the following morning at Wacken Open Air metal festival, which is the biggest heavy metal festival in the world.
The men were "disorientated and dazed" but refused to leave so had to be escorted back to their nursing home in a taxi with a patrol car following, reported Deutsche Welle .
"They obviously liked the metal festival," police spokeswoman Merle Neufeld told public broadcaster Norddeutscher Rundfunk .
"The care home quickly organized a return transport after police picked them up."
The 29th edition of the legendary festival was fully sold out, with an expected 75,000 people expected to attend the four-day festival.
Headline acts this year include Danzig, Judas Priest, Hatebreed, In Flames, Running Wild, Arch Enemy, In Extremo and Eskimo Callboy.
